Emmaus, Pennsylvania – January 4, 2025   The Kindness Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting kids and teens in the foster care system, is proud to receive a generous donation of $6,000 from AAA East Central. This contribution will support things like additional winter apparel needs as we begin the new year with low temperatures, windy conditions, and snow.

“We are thrilled to receive this significant donation from AAA,” said Jenae Holtzhafer, Founder and Executive Director, “It was a pleasant surprise to our team that someone at their branch suggested us as the charity for this year. Their commitment to supporting local communities and making a difference aligns perfectly with our mission. This contribution will help us expand our efforts and continue to make a positive impact on those who need it most as we head into a new year.”

The donation will be used to continue providing kids and teens in the foster care system with clothing, shoes, car seats, beds, and other essential items. Children are often placed into foster care with no personal items. Through our boutique, The Kindness Exchange, youth are provided with items to meet their most immediate needs. Through this partnership, AAA and The Kindness Project are working together to “foster” positive change and provide essential services to those in need.
